Founder's Night: Iconic CEO's share their stories

Hello All,

Our Colorado Hemp-CBD Community is growing fast and coming together to support each other in education, compliance and developing best practices!

For our February meeting we are introducing a special Founders Night, a Fireside Chat format with two CEOs in the space, sharing their personal journeys, visions of where the market is going, and the host of decisions they need to make--business and regulatory both--as their companies grow.

This fits the theme of our group from a different perspective.
-How their companies deal with ever changing regulations?
-How much budget and staff do they allocate for Regulatory compliance?
-Do venture capitalists take this into consideration when investing, both budget and company attitude?

I will be joined Nancy Whiteman, well-known CEO of Wana Brands. Wana is the #1 selling THC infused product in Colorado and is distributed in several other states. They just launched their CBD only brand www.wanawellness.com.

I will also be joined by Patrick Rea, innovative CEO and Co-Founder of Canopy Boulder. www.canopyboulder.com is a venture capital and business accelerator focused on ancillary products and services in the legal cannabis industry.

We plan on an extended Q & A session to allow everyone to ask direct questions to these successful entrepreneurs and role models in the space.

Thanks to our food and beverage sponsor, Michael Best!
They are a full service firm with over 250 lawyers specializing in IP, Litigation, Regulatory and much more. https://www.michaelbest.com/. Thank you again for your support!

A very big thanks to all who helped make the first two meetings a huge success! Our attendees have wide ranging expertise which makes for an interactive educational event. The purpose of these meetings is education but also professional networking. New clients, accounts, and connections were made at the recent events! This is a big part of the community vision I have for this group!

We are building a volunteer team to support these so if you want to participate and have expertise in photography, video and event planning, email me.
